    1. [JONES] Aquilla and Priscilla JONES

    3. Hello, Aquilla and Priscilla Jones were my g-g-g-grandparents. They had a farm in Graves County, Kentucky in the 1840-1850's, and at least 4 children: Thomas, Alexander, Silo/Sila, and Christiana Elizabeth. I am trying to find out where Aquilla and Priscilla came from, and whether they had more than 4 children. Aquilla and Priscilla Jones died on the same day, April 5, 1859, and are buried next to each other in Farmington Cemetery, Graves County, KY. Their tombstone shows Aquilla Jones' birthdate but all that is legible in the photo is the year 1800. Priscilla Jones' birthdate appears to be May 7, 1796. Does anyone know anything about Aquilla and Priscilla Jones? I don't know why Christiana and Thomas, at least, were in Randolph County, ARin the 1860's. Christiana married William Samuel Fredrick as his second wife in Nov. 1863 in Pocahontas, Randolph County, AR. Christiana Jones Fredrick died around March, 1865 about 2 weeks after the birth of her only child, Mary Ellen Fredrick. Late that same year, Thomas Jones died, leaving a will dividing his land among his 2 surviving brothers and William Samuel Fredrick. Does anyone have anything on Alexander or Silo/Sila Jones who owned land in Randolph County, AR? Have a great day, Merrie Sodder Republic, WA
